Deforestation

In Cameroon 60% of the remaining 17 million hectares (42 million acres) of forest are being exploited for logging and farming. 200,000 hectares of forest are lost annually.

• Logging companies are instrumental in increasing the bushmeat trade.
• Logging companies have given hunters easy access to what was previously impenetrable forest by creating exploratory roads and tracks.
• Logging vehicles are often used to transport hunters into forest, and to bring out their kills and transport them to market.
